## DataFusion `48.0.0`
+### `Expr::WindowFunction` is now `Box`ed
+
+`Expr::WindowFunction` is now a `Box<WindowFunction>` instead of a
`WindowFunction` directly.
+This change was made to reduce the size of `Expr` and improve performance when
+planning queries (see [details on #16207]).
+
+This is a breaking change, so you will need to update your code if you match
+on `Expr::WindowFunction` directly. For example, if you have code like this:
+
+```rust
+# /* comment to avoid running
+match expr {
+ Expr::WindowFunction(WindowFunction {
+ params:
+ WindowFunctionParams {
+ partition_by,
+ order_by,
+ ..
+ }
+ }) => {
+ // Use partition_by and order_by as needed
+ }
+ _ => {
+ // other expr
+ }
+}
+# */
+```
+
+You will need to change it to:
+
+```rust
+# /* comment to avoid running
+match expr {
+ Expr::WindowFunction(window_fun) => {
+ let WindowFunction {
+ fun,
+ params: WindowFunctionParams {
+ args,
+ partition_by,
+ ..
+ },
+ } = window_fun.as_ref();
+ // Use partition_by and order_by as needed
+ }
+ _ => {
+ // other expr
+ }
+}
+# */
+```
